Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since KN is the perpendicular bisector, that means ∠KNM = ∠KNQ = 90° and MN = NQ so therefore, since they are right triangles, ΔKNM ≅ ΔKNQ because of HL. Therefore, KM = KQ by CPCTC so:

5x - 3 = 3x + 9

2x = 12

x = 6

The greatest common factor between 64 and 24 is 8

Let's divide both terms in the expression by 8 and leave the expression in parenthesis...
